1984 KZ1100R restore

#1 PostAuthor: Glenn » Mon Feb 22, 2010 3:02 am

Greetings from Victoria BC, Canada everyone, finished doing the restore on my 1984 KZ1100R. Put on the Kerker with the 1.5 inch baffle, Earl's plumbing, Kipkawa S-1 rearsets, Works Performance Racer shocks, S-1 style seatcover, rebuilt the front forks and painted all surfaces and went with the Kawi green. She's like new only better! Had some great help from Perfections Custom Paint, Alan at Kipkawa was spectacular, he really wants his customers happy and he'll do what it takes to make it happen. Best of all were the guys at Kenco Kawasaki in Sooke BC, Wayne and Ken knew what I wanted and made it all come together. Its been a lot of fun organizing the project and polishing up some of the bits that haven't been attended to since I bought the bike brand new! Hope you like the job! :D

Wow, was it ever tough to figure out how to post a photo on this board!
